while the new engine and story mode seem like decent additions/improvements, I would be happy if FIFA 17 only added one thing: the option to set custom colours for each controller.

How do you think black people feel when they have to play as a white guy in... just about every game

They can do all this bullshit with a ‘Story Mode’ but they can’t appease the thousands upon thousands of die hard Career Mode fans with simple tweaks. All we want are coaches to move around from team to team and for prior year awards and stats to be logged. Every other game EA Sports has made has these features. Why…

I don’t want it to be 2016 anymore.

“JFK-neat”

Especially with the pressure Vladimir Putin puts on the national team.

And, because it's a Friday and hey, why not? FIFA was raided again. https://www.theguardian.com/football/2016/…

No, the one you need to give them is 2012. Think about it: if Manningham stepped out of bounds and the Patriots won, the world would have a photo of Barack Obama shaking hands with Aaron Hernandez. No matter who you root for, that’s something we could all cherish.

The Longform vertical may be dead, but using 15 pages to say “Glenn Stout fucked it up” pays nice homage.

Unrelated to the main point, but Hattricks is awesome.

Maybe NBC trying to make their viewership higher with these fucked up start times made it far worse. Also good job by the NHL shutting down a social gathering to get your casual or non-fan to watch a big game, instead forcing them to stay home and likely watch NBA instead.

Don’t you have to have a really good player before you can get “another” one?

Incredible. What an awful blow to a team that was on the cusp of being a perennial 6 or 7 seed in the East chuck full of exciting young players whose amazing dunks and athleticism would have been on display in painful 91-85 losses to a number of throbbing excitement factories like Atlanta and Miami or avatars of the…

Did I do this right?

I honestly think - as it was pointed out earlier - that Roman Abramovich just saw a shiny new forward as the answer to the aging Drogba and Anelka. Factor in the January transfer, where prices are typically inflated, and the fact that Liverpool would only accept a bid from a domestic challenger for the top-4 that is…

I submit “Diamonds and Pearls” as a co-#1 for Prince. But I also submit crazypants Mariah Carey’s “We Belong Together,” Fleetwood Mac’s “Landslide” and Bonnie Raitt’s “I Can’t Make You Love Me” as damn fine pop masterpieces.

Classic Robert Horry. Demoralizing people in the last 5 seconds of things he’s only moderately good at.
